Tortellini Veggie Skewers

½ yellow bell pepper

12 cooked tortellini

6 whole black olives

6 cherry tomatoes

1 slice deli turkey

1 slice provolone cheese

Cut the yellow pepper into 6 strips. Using each pepper strip as a skewer, push 2 tortellini onto each strip.

Use a paring knife to poke a hole into the top of each cherry tomato and cap the end of each pepper strip with a tomato and an olive. Cut the slices of turkey and provolone into 6 long strips, then wrap one of each around the skewers. Serve the skewers with a side of your child’s favorite salad dressing.

Serves one.
